Classic British Lemon Pudding Recipe - Refreshing Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 large eggs (separated)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help prevent lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolks.

    Make sure the mixture is well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until smooth.

    Avoid over-mixing to keep the pudding light.
  5. Whisk Egg Whites

    In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

    Use a clean bowl and beaters for best results.
  6. Fold in Egg Whites

    Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the pudding mixture until just combined.

    Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
  7. Bake

    Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and place it in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set.

    Check for a slight jiggle in the center before removing.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or chilled.

    Top with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
